O.K. I get to grill the steaks today after work. Dumb question. You're not supposed to use a fork because you do not want to pierce the steak. So how do you use a instant read thermometer? I just bought one last night and it does have a 6" probe on it that supposedly gets stuck in the steak to check temperature. ????

From what I've read, your info and all over the web, I'm planning 5 minutes per side direct heat, then 3 minutes per side, indirect heat (twice). Total grilling time of 22 minutes. Hopefully ending up with 145F for mediun well done.

The pro's and con's of salting before grilling, is unbelievable. I have some rosemary flavored sea salt I plan on trying, along with a Basalmic vineagar rub about 30-45 minutes before grilling.

I'll let you know how it went Saturday.
